A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths.

Data structure means how the data is organized in memory.There are diferent kind of data structures. Some are used to store the data of same type and some are used to store different types of data.

a data structure is defined as a way of representing data in computer memory,it may int type to complex data involving many types exstructure.data structure is of two types linear and non linear .linear implies to array and non linear implies to linked list

A small mistake in the above comment..!Data Structures are of two types...They are 1.(linear) Sequential -- linkedlists,trees 2.(Non-linear) Non-Sequential -- Arrays ( Since U can access any value directly from an Array Ex: arr[2],arr[7] )But in linked lists u should go one by one to access a particular location..! hence it is sequential..!

Linear datastructures are accessed non-sequentially... Example:- arr[8],arr[4]Non-Linear data stuctures are accessed sequentially..

The most common organization for components is a linear structure. A structure is linear if it has these 2 properties:

Property P1
Each element is `followed by' at most one other element.
Property P2
No two elements are `followed by' the same element.

data structures is a method of representin data. it not only deals with raw data but also involves the relationship between data. further knowledge of this relationship may help us devise better algorithms to work on it.

Data structures study of  the representation of data in the computers memory(i.e., logical or the mathematical representation)

Or

Data structures can be defined as triple { D,F,A}

Where D is Data, F is a set of function and A is the set of axioms

A data structure is a logical mode of a particular organization of data..
the choice of particular data structure depends on the following consideration:

1.it must able to represent the inherent relationship of the data in real world.

2.It must be simple enough so that it can process efficiently as when necessary.

Data Structure is the way of storing the data in memory such that large amount of data can be store in memory of system.

by applying operation are:-
